Elon Musk has restated why the First and Second Amendments exist in the United States. On November 29, 2025, from X.com:
And this is why we have the first and second amendments in America.
Elon was reacting to a story out of the United Kingdom. British police harassed a British subject who had dared to hold firearms while in Florida, and then post images of him doing so on his LinkedIn account.
According to a Daily Mail article:
The 50-year-old said he offered to prove that the pictures had been taken in the US – where owning or shooting guns are perfectly legal. Officers told him it was not necessary.
A week later on August 23, the officers returned and arrested him on suspicion of possessing a firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and another allegation of stalking related to a photograph of a house that appeared on his social media.
Mr Richelieu-Booth was held overnight in a cell before being interviewed. He was then released on bail until October.
He claims police visited his home three more times before the charges against him were dropped.
Mr. Richelieu-Booth reported that his computers and telephone were seized by police, which made it impossible for him to work. Mr. Richelieu-Booth is an IT consultant. The charges were eventually dropped. While he never faced trial, the process was a considerable punishment. Mr. Richelieu-Booth was arrested, jailed overnight, and rendered unable to work for weeks because he posted images of legal activity online. The police say they were responding to a complaint from a person who had seen the images online and felt threatened.

Foolish post
History is dynamic, not static
Its assumed every time you open your yap. The preface is unnecessary.
History is dynamic, not static
So is Freedom. England and Germany are no longer free. Not, you know, not all static like it’s still 1965.
WTF...? How can a picture of someone holding a gun makes you feel threatened??
Unless you are a deer in Venison Gathering Season (AKA Deer Hunting Season)!!
“You are? You’re paid too much.”
One doesn’t get paid to be anti-Putin on this site.
But to post wanting to drop nukes on our allies is really sick.
They are not our Allies. Hungary and Poland yes, but not the muzzard nations.
I will argue that the 2nd is the most important, without it all others will fall without the means to fight it.
Government has been doing it forever. In the old west cities like Dodge City prohibited firearms in the city in direct violation of the 2nd and only the criminals fought that, ironic isn’t it.
“but not the muzzard nations.”
Your Russia is becoming a Muslim coubtry.
He was detained on suspicion of having an illegal firearm and his car was literally taken apart piece by piece to try and find a gun.
This may be the case. It is from 2014.
It’s not my coubtry. Nor country. Tell your putler to stop paying you.
“Elon Musk, as a legal immigrant, values the Bill of Rights.”
Except for not allowing the advertising of guns and ammo on X. Actions speak louder than words.
Here is a link to an article by the conservativetreehouse.com, where they used a Freedom of Information request to determine how the Maryland police found out Mr. Filippidis had a Florida concealed carry permit.
Pretty chilling, 1984 stuff, this was in 2014, more than a decade ago.
Except for not allowing the advertising of guns and ammo on X. Actions speak louder than words.
It is easy to point at someone else for not taking a stand on a certain issue. Doesn’t mean he doesn’t accept it. He does not fight it., but the issues he does take a stand on are of value.
You pick your issue, can’t do them all. Look at what he has done before being critical.
Which asks the question, what hill have you picked to die on? And by die on, you are willing to risk something: your money, time, reputation, job and maybe your life.
Die polizei play the same BS game here ... ask the J6 crowd; they'll tell you all about it.
CC Permit...
You Decide.
Madness!
Nobody, not even Kennesaw GA actually want "make" him own a gun. His ilk are perfectly happy to make the rest of us NOT own a gun, though ...
Did he elaborate on why he refused to arm himself?
“Where Is It?”

Indeed ... Our police, at all levels, have become the same sort of people as were police in the USSR ... or the Third Reich ... or Imperial Japan ... or the PRC ... or ...
As much as we may cheer when they arrest and deport illegal aliens and other non-government malefactors, we have to understand that they're not "the good guys". They don't serve and protect We the People, they serve and protect The State.
Living in England is the punishment.
But history repeats itself.
